About this audiobook
How do we know what everything is made of? This short book traces the idea of the atom from its first appearance among the ancient Greek philosophers up to the physics of the early twentieth century. It begins with the Pythagoreans, Leucippus and Democritus, then moves on to Epicurus and Lucretius and the later thinkers who kept the idea alive.
Maynard Shipley wrote it as a Little Blue Book in 1924 for ordinary readers, not specialists. Luke Oldham reads it in about an hour and twenty minutes.
For anyone curious how an old idea became modern science.
